With Elan unable to make the recording for episode 242 of The Reality Check, Pat’s wife Cristina stands in and delivers a great opening segment taking a skeptical look at the cosmetics industry. Next, Darren looks into a number of dinosaur myths. Adam closes things out by answering if your kitchen sink is dirtier than your toilet.

I have been catching up and binge listening to all the old podcasts, as I have only recently discovered this podcast and it’s phenomenal work you all do. I Googled “Why does Adam call us cuboids?” And found this thread.

Best. Answer. Ever.

It’s just one of those unanswerable riddles; why does Adam call us cuboids? How does Strongbad type with boxing gloves? Why is a raven like a writing desk? All in the same circle of illogical nonsense.
